BOOK DISCUSSION
On February 15th at 11:15 in the parish offices, there will be a discussion of A Rabbi Looks at Jesus’
Parables by Frank Stern. By analyzing Jesus' parables in the light of Jewish sources, a reviewer tells us,
"Rabbi Stern is able to reveal layers of meaning within meaning, bringing deep wisdom and healing
vision to the surface. This is precisely the kind of responsible scholarship that honors cultural and
religious convictions and differences, and which can move the enterprise of faith forward. Anyone who
seeks to understand Jesus' message, anyone who seeks to understand the Jewish roots of Christian faith,
anyone seeking a Jewish perspective on the stories at Christianity's core, will do well to begin right
here.” We will also discuss how Rabbi Stern’s book compares with Amy-Jill Levine’s book Short Stories
by Jesus. All are welcome!
MUSIC MINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES
All of our music ministry ensembles are welcoming new members in the new year. Check out the
opportunities on the “Ministries” tab of the parish website. Any questions may be directed to Michael

Queridos Parroquianos,
Si tienen ganas de ver algunas fotos maravillosas de la Misa de la Epifanía pueden ir al sitio
flickr.com, ¡inscríbanse y vayan al sitio de la parroquia!, ignacio02467.
Como saben, he estado tratando de facilitar conversaciones en inglés y en Español para
miembros de la comunidad que tienen ganas de practicar un idioma. En este momento hay diez
voluntairos, anglo-parlantes que están dispuestos a ayudar a miembros de la comunidad latina
en la práctica del idioma.
Algunos de ellos tienen el interés de ayudar a hablar inglés. Otros también quieren aprender
Español. Si tiene ganas de practicar y mejorar su habla, por favor déjenmelo saber. Habrá una
lista en el Friary Room para que se puedan participar. Necesito saber su flexibilidad durante la
semana. Algunas personas están disponible durante el día, otras el fin de semana. Les invito a
venir a una junta a la una y media el 1 de febrero en la sala de coro para averiguar más sobre
este programa
Como es de costumbre, he ido a Jamaica por ocho días y no estaré presente durante dos
domingos en la Misa. Les digo que extrañaré nuestras celebraciones pero Victoria Urbaneja de
la comunidad va a acompañarnos y me ayudará a recordar a mis amigos de Boston.
Sinceramente,
Padre Bob
